I remeber as a kid the head Priest at my Church had 2 Airedales that routinely were with him everywhere he went, they were even buried on the grounds near the dorms where the Priests lived with a statue of Saint Francis. I loved those dogs and loved to play with them.

Isn't it “No one may drive any beast into a church…” (Canon 88, Qunisext Council, 692AD) ?

Since 1983 the Western Church's use the revised Code of Code of Canon Law (CIC) in 1983. Containing 1752 canons, it is the law currently binding on the Latin (western) Roman Church.

It always seems silly to me that God gave 10 commandments and we have 1000's of laws in the Church and government to enforce those 10! Jesus was born in a manger with animals and I doubt he cares about a dog in the church! It is the spirit not the letter of the law that counts!

Our parish has the sweet elderly widow who bring her little dog everywhere including the church where she blesses him with holy water!
